Will following along in Xcode 9 and swift 4 be too confusing for the projects? Or is this feasible?

I am currently using Xcode 9, and although I know the differences between swift 3 and 4 are subtle, as I was able to follow along prior tutorials. I was wondering if it is a good idea to wait until projects are updated to xcode 9 or if I can start now.

Would like to know the same. I figured the courses were in Swift 4 but it seems its only in 3.

I ended up taking the course anyways and I am well into the intermediate course. It honestly hasn’t been too problematic for me and has definitely been of great helped. I feel I have learned so much!

Since Apple updates Xcode on a year basis, updating the hardware requirements too. Its wise to know the last two versions of Xcode and have the hardware to run it quickly. You can run different versions of Xcode, check youtube on installing different versions of Xcode or know how to update your code to run on the current Xcode. I'm learning the basics of Xcode 7, Xcode 8, and Xcode 10 on Udemy as well. Most of the Syntax does not change from version to version.

For the record, in XCode 9 it'Å› possible to set both the OS target version and the Swift version to use in the "Build Settings" tab when the project is created from a project template wizard. (Swift 3.2 being the oldest version supported....another option is "unspecified"...unsure what that means in this context...)
